Re: Let's talk Nokia stock. Really.

I was wondering myself how the shares could drop 15% the very day of the announcement of the new flagship unit (and its smaller companion). After some thought I came up with following main reasons:

Re: N9 PR1.3 by end of May'12

I think it would be more like:

Elop: "Come in!"
Dev: "Just to ask, how much will it cost..."
Elop: "Wait, who are you again?"
Dev: "Oh, I'm the Maemo guy. I..."
Elop pulls trapdoor lever, dev...

As Scorpius said, that's the price of progress. While the "full desktop experience" (including Flash) is (was) one of the main high points of the device web developers nowadays don't really consider...

Re: Ludicrousity Reloaded - N9 Inductive Charging via Touchstone

Btw, just found the youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAqP3T_Mbzg) for the equivalent SGS3 "hack" (when comparing it with above procedure it doesn't really deserve that label ;)).

Re: Ludicrousity Reloaded - N9 Inductive Charging via Touchstone

Very cool. I was planning to do the same thing once I got the N9. but alas, it seems I can't bring myself to fork money over to Microkia, now even less than before. Moreover, ironically the SGS3...

Re: The Intel phone that could have run Meego

Currently it is possible to run a Linux chroot and pipe the UI through localhost VNC, So low FPS applications should run as long as the CPU can keep up. Someone is also working on a native X Server...

Re: The Intel phone that could have run Meego

Another Medfield phone, the Lenovo K800 has been released this month as well, though apparently only in China. It's similar to the Xolo. but a bit chunkier with a bigger 720p screen.

There are...

Re: Galaxy S III - THIS is how you release your flagship device

Yep, another strategic step that makes sense. It takes an investment of 500,000 USD to become platinum member and gets you a seat at the foundation's board of directors and thus more insight and...

Re: N9 or SGS2 for someone who likes development?

For me the question is more to the tune: still get a 64GB N9 or wait for the Galaxy S3. Though nothing is officially confirmed for the S3 it's safe to assume it will be a noticeable upgrade from the...

Re: NITdroid Alpha Release #1 is out

The N9 has the same CPU/GPU combo as the Samsung I9003 (Galaxy SL) (http://www.mobile88.com/mobilegallery/comparephone.asp?compare=22119&compare=22039), so any app that runs there should run on the...

Is there a server-less mode too (i.e. saving locally)? I kind of like being independent from a server so the app would still work if the server went down or was hacked or whatnot. RSS readers work...

Re: Getting new phone: N9 or N900?

Imho not that surprising. This is a forum of tinkerers. And unlike all Maemo devices up to the N900, the N9 was designed to be less hackable/extendable, the major culprits being:

If so, is there a...
